Did the marriage take place after the father said, "By God Almighty, by God Almighty, by God Almighty, if she says yes, I agree, I will write the contract for you now," and then the daughter agreed, and then the father recanted, with four witnesses to what happened?
What happened with your uncle was a promise of marriage, not a consummated marriage contract (), for a marriage contract cannot be conditional. He should have fulfilled his promise, and if you are a suitable match (kuf'u), then he is not permitted to prevent his daughter from marrying you (ʿaḍl). The jurists have mentioned that if a guardian repeatedly rejects a suitable suitor, he becomes a transgressor (fasiq) and his guardianship is forfeited. Marriage between relatives is permissible and there is no harm in it. It is advised to remind your uncle of Allah and clarify that he is not permitted to prevent his daughter from marrying a suitable match, and to seek assistance from those who have influence over him.
